That is such an awesome looking building--it's too bad they didn't build the new school just like it, but modern times called for a "modern" building, I'm sure! Architecture used to be so grand--even in small towns like this one. It's sad that we have gotten away from such workmanship. :-(

Workmanship = $$$$

Sad, but true.

Type of construction also equates to $$$$.
